"An apology does not erase that as a fact. It should however IMO, alter our reaction to it."

You have a point. However, for those of us who lived through that nightmare, and who vividly remember the film footage of this woman cavorting with our enemies, clapping her hands gleefully like a child while looking around at the stupid N. Vietnamese soldiers who were lavishing attention on her........those memories are as fresh for us as though they were current.

As the old saying goes, "I can forgive, but I can never forget." Memories of great pain are like mental tattoos.

I'm no apologist for Ms. Fonda. And I certainly don't make light of the opinions and feeling of those she hurt. Just trying to inject some accuracy.

Frankly, after hearing and reading about her antiwar activities, her multiple marriages, her "threesomes", etc, I think she's lead a pretty miserable life so far. Hopefully, her conversion to Christianity is sincere (and it just may be since she was so upset when the minister of the Church she was attending when he went public that she was taking Bible classes).

I agree she could (and should) do a lot more to try to make amends to our vets.
